7. What can I do if I forget my encryption key?

4. Why doesn’t the Link LED light up?

5. Why can’t I connect to another wireless client

in Ad-Hoc mode?

The DWL-G820 has a default channel of 6. Make sure that the channel on the

DWL-G820 is exactly the same as the channel on the other wireless client.

The DWL-G820 Wireless Gaming Adapter has a default SSID of

default

. Make

sure that the SSID on the DWL-G820 is exactly the same as the SSID on the

other wireless client.

For advanced setup features, enter

http://192.168.0.35

into your Internet browser

and gain access to the Web configuration of the DWL-G820. The advanced

setup features can be used to change the LAN and wireless settings for your

DWL-G820.

Make sure that the SSID on the DWL-G820 is exactly the same as the

SSID on the access point or wireless router.

Move the DWL-G820 and access point or wireless router into the same

room and then test the wireless connection.

Disable all security settings. (WEP, MAC Address Control, WPA, etc.)

Turn off your access point and the device connected to the DWL-G820.

Then, turn on the access point, and the device connected to the DWL-G820.

Make sure that the DWL-G820 is set to Infrastructure mode.

3. Why doesn’t the Power LED light up?

Check to see if the DWL-G820 Wireless Gaming Adapter is connected properly

to a known good power outlet.

Reset the access point to its factory default settings and restore the

DWL-G820 to its factory default settings. You may do this by pressing

the

Reset

button on the back of the unit.You will lose the current

configuration settings.

Troubleshooting (continued)

8. Why can’t I connect the DWL-G820 to my network?

Check that the LED indicators for the broadband modem are indicating normal

activity. If not, there may be a problem with the broadband connection.

Check that the LED indicators on the wireless router are functioning properly. If

not, check that the AC power and Ethernet cables are firmly connected.

Check that the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS settings are correctly

entered for the network.

In

Infrastructure

mode, make sure the same Service Set Identifier (SSID) is

specified on the settings for the wireless clients and access points. The SSID

factory default setting for D-Link products is

default

.

In

Ad-Hoc mode

, both wireless clients will need to have the same SSID. Please

note that it might be necessary to set up one client to establish a BSS (Basic

Service Set) and wait briefly before setting up other clients. This prevents several

clients from trying to establish a BSS at the same time, which can result in

multiple singular BSSs being established, rather than a single BSS with multiple

clients associated to it.

Check that the

Network Connection

for the wireless client is configured properly.

Select

Infrastructure

when connecting to a wireless router and select

Ad-Hoc

mode when connecting without an access point.

If security is enabled, make sure that the correct encryption key or passphrase

is entered on both the DWL-G820 and the wireless router or Ad-Hoc client.

D-Link products let you access your network from virtually anywhere you want.

However, the positioning of the products within your environment will affect the

wireless range. Please refer to

Installation Considerations

in the

Wireless

Basics

section of this manual for further information about the most advantageous

placement of your D-Link wireless products.

9. What variables may cause my wireless products to lose

reception?

10. Why does my wireless connection drop?

Antenna orientation – try different antenna orientations for the DWL-G820. Try to

keep the antenna at least 6 inches away from the wall or other objects.

If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones, X-10 equipment or other home security

systems, ceiling fans, and lights, your wireless connection will degrade

dramatically or drop altogether. Try changing the channel on your router, access

point and all other devices on the network to avoid interference.

Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet) from electrical devices that generate

RF noise, like microwaves, monitors, electric motors, etc.
